Schedule Interview NowMy name is Charles H. and I have over 16 years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: React, TypeScript, Angular, PHP, WordPress, etc.. Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: Galaxy TV MediaTailor Scheduling System, Debatabl, FlixFling, OptimizePress, WordPress Code Manager Plugin, etc.. I am based in Lansford, United States. I've successfully completed 16 projects while developing at Devaims.
I value a collaborative environment where shared knowledge leads to superior outcomes. I actively mentor junior team members, conduct thorough quality reviews, and champion engineering best practices across the team. I believe that the quality of the final product is a direct reflection of the team's cohesion and skill.
My experience at Devaims has refined my ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring project alignment from the outset. I am a strong believer in transparent processes and iterative delivery.
My main objective is to foster a culture of quality and accountability. I am motivated to contribute my expertise to projects that require not just technical skill, but also strong organizational and leadership abilities to succeed.

OptimizePress is a WordPress theme and plugin that allows you to build landing pages and even full blown sites using a graphical environment. Very much like WordPress’ own Gutenburg engine, this plugin would allow you to easily and quickly build sites. We had a team of three. The CEO, the designer and me, the developer. I helped bring OptimizePress to version 2.0 with no code commenting or any other kind of documentation to help me with version 1.0.
A WordPress plugin I built to showcase the code I have written on my professional portfolio. It allows you to add posts of custom post type "code" and add a special documentation section, screenshots, a description and a downloadable code linked to an item in your WP media library. The primary class, accessible through global variable $code_manager, has many methods available for manipulating your code data as well as templates that are completely customizable. I also added a shortcode, [code][/code], that uses the highlightjs library to add syntax highlighting to your posts. Simply encapsulate your code in [code][/code] shortcode tags and it will automatically highlight the code.
Over the past year and a half I have worked on many websites for St. Luke’s Health Network. One such project is a mobile website/application which allows patients to schedule an ER appointment in advance. I used jQuery Mobile, PHP and MySQL in what turned out to be a very responsive, Ajax driven site. This application has also won a W3 Award recently.
OptimizePress is a complete and custom website development system for non developers. The system was created using PHP, MySQL and Wordpress. Work was performed on a custom theme and custom plugin, both of which offer the same functionality. Much custom work was involved in this but it still follows all the standards provided by Wordpress.
South Whitehall Township is a local township who needed a website redesign. I rebuilt the entire site in Wordpress so it would be more efficient for the user to update content. I built plugins from scratch for a fully featured calendar with event management as well as a news management plugin. There is a lot of LAMP code involved, including designing the databases myself, as well as a lot of javascript and CSS3. The website also is responsive as it looks completely different on mobile with the same code, just a different stylesheet.
Informal Debates is an online debating network I developed as a personal project. I designed and developed the entire system on my own over about a month in spare time. The network was shutdown due to bad marketing on my part but I plan on resurrecting the system at some point. I also was the sole server admin on the project as this was a so called "lone wolf" project.
EMT Review was an Android application I ported over from the iOS platform during my time with Accella. I completed the application in one week and fixed bugs, consulted with the client, etc over the next week, resulting in a finished application in a two week period. I worked on this application by myself with no assistance from other developers.
The store locator system for GSI Commerce websites was developed by three main developers, one of which was myself. I added features to the system as well as fixed many bugs the system contained. Currently, this codebase is used on not only the toys r us website but all of GSI Commerce's e-commerce clients. My team and I also worked on localization so this codebase could be (and was successfully) used by not only American websites but Canada, Germany and other countries as well.
Toys R Us was a massive project at GSI Commerce which included a large percentage of the developers at the company. My role was to work on the front end of the website in conjunction with the back end developers to fix bugs on the product pages, the cart, the checkout system and the baby registry area as well as the in store pickup system.
My first freelance web programming project I did everything from design to development. Tom Lisetski is a photographer from Easton, PA and he needed a site that was simple yet elegant. He wanted a flash like presence but did not want to use flash. Instead, I used Ajax to allow the site to load only one page and look/feel like a flash based site. This site contains a contact form, a homepage jQuery based slideshow that randomly loads a category on site load, a jQuery based dropdown menu and a jQueyr based photo viewer.
PHI Search is a job placement company based in New York. They wanted an update to their current design as well as added functionality. Given the design, Wordpress was chosen as a CMS. This gives them the ability to modify literally everything on the page. From the jQuery slideshow on the homepage, to every section on the page to the job listings. To update the job listings, I developed an admin plugin that allows them to update the job listings and, since it is a plugin, if the system is ever upgraded, the admin changes stay intact. Added functionality includes a job application form which allows uploading of a resume and automatic emailing to the contact address associated with that job listing, assigned in the admin section.
Phoebe Ministries needed a sattelite site for their Berks, PA campus. Given the design I coded everything by hand from XHTML to CSS to Javascript using the jQuery library to PHP using the Codeigniter library. Points of interest on this site are the javascript slideshow on the homepage including the sliding forms in the same area, integrated blog using Wordpress (including integration on the home page and all sub pages), send a postcard feature and the custom contact forms and Google Maps integration, including dynamic directions.
ksg3 Interactive is the result of the merging of Gosselin Internet Group and KSA+D. These two companies needed a website developed that showed their modern design methods and their web 2.0 programming techniques. Given the design, I coded the site's XHTML, CSS, Javascript. Everything that went on the site. There is much javascript but the site works without as well. I developed this site using PHP and the CodeIgniter framework for clean, seo friendly urls and quick turnover time. Items of interest on the site would be the dropdown menu for their portfolio (including a custom Flip3D inspired slideshow), Google Maps navigation on the contact page and dynamic content.
